The Berserker At Stamford Bridge

  • We had marched all night long
    Now silently we stood upon the ridge
    An army of fifteen thousand strong
    Looking down at Stamford Bridge

    The English stood on the hill
    Caught off guard we had to retreat
    The omens of this day boded ill
    The river cold and wide lay at our feet

    One man walked out on the bridge
    With Dane axe held firm in his mighty hand
    Alone he stood against our foes
    A giant Berserker of a man

    Charge! The order to attack
    Nothing now can hold us back
    Our entire force pours down the slope
    Now, abandon all of your hope
    Death! Move in for the kill
    Today Norsemen blood will spill

    Englishmen! I am waiting here
    In my heart I know not an ounce of fear
    We are waiting here my trusted axe and me
    Just come at me, I will not flee
    Death! I know that it awaits
    Soon I will enter Valhalla's gates!

    On the bridge we met his axe
    While he stood, none could pass
    His axe cut deep, through flesh and bone
    He held the bridge all on his own

    Forty men, died by his steel
    The only way we could make him kneel
    Was to send four men out on the stream
    And sting the bastard from beneath
